Class Vector

java.lang.Object
org.bukkit.util.Vector
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, ConfigurationSerializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
BlockVector

public class Vector extends Object implements Cloneable, ConfigurationSerializable
Represents a mutable vector. Because the components of Vectors are mutable, storing Vectors long term may be dangerous if passing code modifies the Vector later. If you want to keep around a Vector, it may be wise to call clone() in order to get a copy.

    • rotateAroundAxis

      @NotNull public @NotNull Vector rotateAroundAxis(@NotNull @NotNull Vector axis, double angle) throws IllegalArgumentException
      Rotates the vector around a given arbitrary axis in 3 dimensional space.

      Rotation will follow the general Right-Hand-Rule, which means rotation will be counterclockwise when the axis is pointing towards the observer.

      This method will always make sure the provided axis is a unit vector, to not modify the length of the vector when rotating. If you are experienced with the scaling of a non-unit axis vector, you can use rotateAroundNonUnitAxis(Vector, double).

      Parameters:
      axis - the axis to rotate the vector around. If the passed vector is not of length 1, it gets copied and normalized before using it for the rotation. Please use normalize() on the instance before passing it to this method
      angle - the angle to rotate the vector around the axis
      Returns:
      the same vector
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the provided axis vector instance is null
    • rotateAroundNonUnitAxis

      @NotNull public @NotNull Vector rotateAroundNonUnitAxis(@NotNull @NotNull Vector axis, double angle) throws IllegalArgumentException
      Rotates the vector around a given arbitrary axis in 3 dimensional space.

      Rotation will follow the general Right-Hand-Rule, which means rotation will be counterclockwise when the axis is pointing towards the observer.

      Note that the vector length will change accordingly to the axis vector length. If the provided axis is not a unit vector, the rotated vector will not have its previous length. The scaled length of the resulting vector will be related to the axis vector. If you are not perfectly sure about the scaling of the vector, use rotateAroundAxis(Vector, double)

      Parameters:
      axis - the axis to rotate the vector around.
      angle - the angle to rotate the vector around the axis
      Returns:
      the same vector
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the provided axis vector instance is null
